If what you are asking for is a way to turn off the headlights/DRL after you park and get out of the car. There is an option in the settings -> Vehicle -> Display and Lighting -> Guide Lights If you turn guide lights off, when you park and get out of the vehicle and close the driver door, the...

Yes

If you are not using the tesla subscription pricing there is no point to use the tesla app. But if you are charging multiple times a month on superchargers, then it is generally worth it to do so. Keep in mind there is a timeout on starting the session from the tesla app. I am not sure what that...

Just got my shipping notification email, looking forward to it. Just a psa for anyone else waiting.

Interesting, it's just on the left side. From the Ikamper site it does not look like there is any on the front/back/right side. I agree that it is tasteful, but I would still black it out like I have all of my silver letters.

I really like how there does not appear to be any external branding on the shell.

Close to you in coverage, my collision is at 1k. Central California, late 20s single guy, completely clean record, I pay $3000 a year($255/Mo). That is after shopping around after my prior insurance raised my rate from $3000 to $4000 after the first year out of nowhere.

Ordered! I remember your old store page for the gen 1 units had 2 confirmed charging pucks to purchase separately. One being the Apple one, but I can't remember what the second was and don't see it listed on the store page. Could we have a reminder of which chargers you have tested and...

Pretty much, the one tweak I would say is: Rivian likes to keep the battery at a comfortable temp to give you full performance. Depending on how cold things are it could take much longer. It will try and get to that temp every time you get in the vehicle and start driving. But the main thing...

Adding on to what Donald said. Cold weather and smaller trips will make your efficiency seem really bad. Every time you hop in and start driving the vehicle has to go through all of the battery management procedures to warm the thing up. If you do this multiple times a day this can add up as the...

I agree with the overall sentiment of wanting to distance from Tesla, but I don't feel like this hill of specific components to swap from ac/dc is worth worrying about. Anyone can produce these components, they are public. As more car manufactures swap to nacs, more suppliers will pop up or...

I'm pretty sure Rivan has said that they will be making the port themselves. I mean the specs on how to make them are public now. No reason for Rivian to have to purchase them from Tesla.

My guess is they launch R2's in 2025 just like they launched R1's in "2021". Employee deliveries in nov/dec and customer deliveries in dec/jan.

It doesn't really change anything from the current situation, you can always use a ccs -> nacs adapter to charge at EA/Rivian stations like you can now in reverse at tesla. Even if Rivian doesn't supply an adapter at launch you can always purchase one from Tesla/Third Parties like A2Z, ect.
